I have worked as a BA in a small company for the past 8 years. I was the only BA and have worked on multiple small projects in the Social Services domain. I recently quit my job and I'm trying to find another one but I lack the confidence to apply for jobs because the company I worked for did not use formal BA techniques etc. We mainly had  government clients and although I have done a lot of what a BA does- requirement elicitation, documentation, UAT, training, user documentation.  

Any suggestions on how to bridge the gap and get a job as a BA will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bella,

I would say, just apply and go to the interviews and find out what recruiters are looking for.  If you go to the interview with the mindset that it's just a mock/practice interview then you would take the pressure off you.  It will allow you to test the waters and find out, from the questions asked, what the industry is looking for.

BTW: just curious, why did you quit your current job before finding the new one.

Sincerely,

Adrian
